* SoBadItsGood: This film combines [[DullSurprise poor acting]] with [[{{Narm}} ridiculous dialogue]] wrapped up in a hilarious ExcusePlot with a side order of SpecialEffectsFailure. The result is priceless. * SpecialEffectsFailure: It's glaringly obvious where muzzle flashes have been added in post-production.

* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: Mikey, being played by the biggest name cast member, is the only one who looks like he's capable of acting in any way shape or form. [[EnsembleDarkhorse He's probably the most memorable character in the film]].

It just adds to the film's {{Narm}}. This was at the height of their fame too, so it's not as if he needed the money from a film that cost less than ten grand to make.

* CultClassicCultClassic: It's got a fairly strong following among Irish viewers for being Ireland's [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative greatest martial arts movie]] and among moviegoers with a BileFascination.

* * BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Just before the final battle (and the infamous car crash), a man in a cowboy hat and a speedo appears, takes off his speedo and jumps into a heated open-air bathtub (which is literally just an old bathtub propped over an open flame). The scene then changes to Jimmy driving and shooting at the Drug Lord bodyguards before crashing his car. After the crash and the ensuing explosion, the naked cowboy jumps out of his bathtub and runs off screen. His sudden presence in the film is never explained and he is never seen again. Bizarrely enough, he's ''credited'' for the role.
